CASE DISMISSED.
WELLINGTON PROSECUTION. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. Remarking that it would be a waste of time to send the case 011 to a jury, Mr. J. G. L. Hewitt, S.M., in the Police Court to-day, dismissed a charge of the theft of musical instruments, gramophone parts, stationery and other articles, valued at £107 6/9, the property of Ernest Dawson, Ltd., Wellington .preferred against Robert Harold Court, manufacturers' representative. It was alleged by the prosecution that Court had removed certain goods from a shop occupied by Ernest Dawson, Ltd., without the authority of Dawson, the managing director of the company, while he was in Auckland. The magistrate, after hearing the evidence of Dawson and the principal witnesses for the prosecution, said it appeared to him-that Dawson had been in trouble and had made an. arrangement whereby when he went away Court was to take security, and it was definitely fixed what he" was to take. That appeared to be all that happened. The case was dismissed.
